Jerar Encarnacion Should Be Ready To Return On May 23
Jerar Encarnacion (hand) could play in minor-league rehab games as early as this weekend, and it looks like he's on track to be fully ready when he's eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on May 23, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic. Encarnacion has yet to make his 2025 season debut after having surgery to fix a fractured left hand in late March, but he should be back with the Giants before the calendar flips to June. The 27-year-old Dominican was swinging a hot bat in spring training before his injury and looked to be in line for a regular role as the team's designated hitter, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep a watchful eye on what his role is when he returns from the IL. In 35 games for San Fran in 2024, Encarnacion hit .248/.277/.425 with five home runs, 19 RBI and 13 runs scored in 119 trips to the plate.
